The major purpose of the Conversion Cycle is to transform raw materials into finished goods. Data are captured via terminals or micro-based work-stations using such techniques as keyed-in alphanumeric codes, inserted badges or cards, scanned bar codes, or touched monitor screens.
The conversion cycle encompasses three major processing steps: production planning, production operations, and accounting for production costs. There are also advantages of Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems, such as the materials requirements relating to demands for products are determined beforehand, so that the materials are transferred to the production areas in time for production starts. Besides that, production orders are scheduled to accommodate the manufacturing capacity.
Apart from that, the benefits of CIM Systems are greater flexibility in meeting the changing needs of customers and savings in the material inventory investment.
In addition, there are web security procedures: authentication, authorization, accountability, data transmission, disaster contingency, and recovery plan.
THE CONVERSION CYCLE

FORMS OF DATA INPUT
1. Customer order
2. Bill of materials
3. Operations list/Routing slip
4. Production schedule
5. Production order
6. Materials issue slip/Materials requisition
7. Labor job-time ticket
8. Move ticket/traveler
9. Inspection report(s)
DATA PROCESSING
The conversion cycle encompasses three major processing steps:
1. Production planning
2. Production operations
3. Accounting for production costs
BENEFIT OF COMPUTER INTEGRATED SYSTEMS-I
1. Greater flexibility in meeting the changing needs of customers
2. Savings in the material inventory investment
3. Increased quality in products
4. Optimal scheduling of production, with dynamic adjustments as conditions change or new orders are received
5. Shorter production cycle times
6. Improved productivity of employees and hence reduced labor costs
7. Continuous monitoring of production operations, with immediate feedback of control problems as they arise
8. Savings in paperwork costs, since most interactions are performed via computer and records are stored electronically
9. Better utilization of all production facilities
10. Greater accessibility of information, including the ability to provide ad hoc reports for planning and control
